11:31 pm
yes. i work for i think my father is the way you are and an assistant to the man i'm speaking with here vice president of seat anyway district one chris shelton one of the groups c.w.a. represents the rising workers and as of june two thousand and twelve the horizon workers he represents have been working without a contract for over a year except this round of contracts is different the risin is trying to break you everything my father worked for his whole career could be gone within his lifetime so maybe the bush people who are me walks up like that recognize that we ought to know not to say that of the time of record profits of rising disaster to very same people that i'm a good look at it and a rich corporation i think i want to you will benefit acceptable from up they want to feel their eyes that it should be the poster child for corporate greed because of all the money they make and what they're trying to do to us and everybody else
11:32 pm
at the body say it's about saving a million dollars next year what do you think that this car negotiations is really about this car negotiation is about destroying our standard of living this is cooperation is trying to get what they want that they've been trying to get for the last twenty five years and we cannot let democrats right occupy wall street smash and i message are exactly the same corporate greed is destroying this country and we cannot let it slip we have built very close ties with the communication workers before september seventeenth we were already supporting the fall markers and responding by supporting us we went to their last rally at the headquarters they marched back to the park with us and some of them slept there they're going to be in a tough struggle that's why we're getting this relationship with labor labor seen as relieved they are i never expected when i first started contacting unions that the response would be so enthusiastic but the labor movement has been kicked around now
11:33 pm
for quite a while and they have to fight and right. people fighting and they see they're fighting the same enemy and they see the reaching out this movement has shown such an eagerness to reach out to the mainstream of the american public and the unions represent the organized part of that the focus on the one percent and the first time in an american movement i don't even think in the thirty's that the communist party did this in their mass work i don't even think they identify the enemy as the ruling class mr speaker. mr vice president. members of congress distinguished guests and fellow americans last month i went to andrews air force base and welcome home some of our last troops to serve in iraq. together we offered a final proud salute to the colors under which more than a million of our fellow citizens fought. and several thousand gave their lives
11:34 pm
we gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the united states safer and more respected around the world thank you thank you thank you thank. you thank. you to want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just because i'm alive at the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens that the benefits of every congressional district in the country somebody really believes that the undisputed greatest player of violence in the world actually makes us safer and more respected i mean come on that kind of attitude is not going to earn anyone any nobel peace prizes or thank goodness they wish members of the norwegian nobel committee. citizens of america. and citizens of the world.
11:35 pm
i receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility george orwell would have had a hard time coming up with this are we really this delusional you see the more honest we are with ourselves about exactly what our foreign policy is the better chance we have to stop some of the truly horrific conditions it visits upon many of the people of the world so say it with me the us foreign policy is a blowback inducing homicidal bull in a cultural religious and geo political china shop change. there was handed. down. to the family. sitting. around. the world. it was not. the answer to that i served in iraq in two thousand and four in two thousand and
11:36 pm
six i was in the second battle of. allusion november two thousand and four as a human being and as a person who has a heart i can't lie to myself anybody else and say that we had a reason to be there that there's a reason for the million iraqis that died in the five thousand to said that we say we're the greatest country in the world but we go and kill you know people in their country but we don't stop genocide in africa we don't help people that we can help that would be the greatest country in the world if we can save a million people instead of killing them and people if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money taxpayers in the united states had need one point four trillion dollars for total war spending in iraq and afghanistan since two thousand and one never wondered what one point four trillion dollars would buy well it could be the annual energy costs for every household in america five years but i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence on foreign oil there. one point four trillion dollars
11:37 pm
could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. over or it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy knowing times over for groceries for everyone in the country for free for two years or to provide scholarships to every college student in america and award them a fifty five hundred dollar grant seven times over the war turn all volunteer firefighters into full time employees and pay them a full salary for twenty three years or pay the full time salaries of every public school teacher for the next six years instead we took one point four trillion dollars pay a small black ops team to hunt track and kill osama bin ladin oh we even had money left over in the budget to decimate two countries launch hostilities resulting in over one million innocent civilians dead and counting ask yourself how many orphans
11:38 pm
are going to bed with clenched fists tonight in afghanistan or iraq who grow up willing to fly a plane into the building and how many trillions are we prepared to spend on avenging that little man. can do everything go to school and not just go to school but excel in school work really really hard and i graduated and really had the feeling a lot of the time very consciously in my head that. i might as well. you know i mean. was there reason for me to be in debt good evening of all the time bombs in the american economy set to explode with dire consequences this is a big one staggering debt from student loans everyone is told a college education is a way to get ahead college tuitions though keep going up so does the borrowing and we just hit an awful milestone our nation's combined student loan debt is now. at
11:39 pm
one trillion dollars that averages out to twenty four thousand per student it's now larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out. i have to. thank. god. i. think that if you go anybody would have predicted that.
11:40 pm
you would have. our young people out of the streets in new york city. because something is we journalists here. oh it. has so many. young people. on a global stage with affordable education. and it is a challenge and just because there is in fact the whole student loan debt credit card debt when congress raises the loan limits schools respond to those increased long limits by raising tuition because they think that students can afford to pay more because they're actually allowed more money nobody really has the option to
11:41 pm
expect to get it and i'm sure. not go to college we don't have an unskilled workforce anymore we are for the workforce that we have right now it's socially irresponsible not to go to school because the entire workforce is predicated on higher education i think our education system hasn't caught up to our economy and that's one of the problems and that that's where this problem is coming and that's why people are speaking up that's why that why i'm here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans because it's the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever discharge this bankruptcy the idea of debtors union is based on the labor union model and what they did effectively when our economy was very different when there was so-called unskilled labor they negotiated with the factories for better working conditions so that they could go back to work just that same way you do you debtors union could renegotiate a better contract or arrangement with our lenders so that we can repay our loans it's employing an autonomous strategy of refusal so you were fused to do something
11:42 pm
you're saying no to something in favor of making things better. how do. you. write code like you know it's really about who we believe and the truth of the sooner we. just all these effects are so massive whether it's b.p. . oil. the tar sands i think the size of florida is from an alberta i was really interested in the tar sands protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully is pretty amazing right. a message
11:43 pm
to all of you to tell you is tar sands oil is not half the cult in order to get tarzan so out you ask to destroy the art and so i think that you know find some of the pipeline but what happens after that you know another standoff with big oil i think so i think so i don't think it's the environment's going to magically go itself because we stop the pipeline and then the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes this so urgent is that that nasa scientist james taylor said the bro could warrior actually a few decades back for whatever says the piper and it will be. game over me inside and out on the inhabitable earth. or you.

the sun.
11:46 pm
i mean i. think that he believes he's reading it as we go. and i think that till the people who are the naysayers come down and actually get all their narrative there's. a good dose of rarity here so steve bruce is a world away so the dining and we want people to be able to hold him so that it's going to take time. we can't force it but we're not ready to. because we see a better world. we'll be there. you know this organization of the second that any american dream. were created. was.
11:47 pm
put in a bit you know. i hear or see this intervention at the end you know the show you all the same stuff and then they sit around somebody who has issues and problems and they talk about you know how badly that person has done and what they're going to do if they don't change their behavior and for us we're dealing with folks who have a serious addiction to corporate money which i think. that we can expect them to get off and on their own even on that in the smoking a crack. crack got to be very easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this is not the occupy movement has become
11:48 pm
a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend the real. in my mind. set in the bar for the critique that corporations are not persons property not speech constitutional rights are for people over eight hundred fifty six and dred scott the same supreme court so that people are property dred scott affirm slavery in two thousand cannot the supreme court said property is people killed decisions i didn't see. was was what i was i just felt for some time to talk to them telling them how about that could come back to the bit i
11:49 pm
really should think coalition individuals are getting the issues coming together with a secular purpose to get to where they come to kill and then the time they can clear cut because. they do not have been here e-mailing about oh. money is not political beat us. today and how he's coming into doctrines must feel like we cannot overturn could be punished and still our wealthy individuals just didn't have enough money and. they were. up. up. up. up. up.
11:50 pm
up you all talk. he's a huge ha ha ha ha. ha monstrosity around the power monopolies have you noticed she's still alive as our society shapes he gets treated like you with the excuse that someone's got to push for race to the wind as if it's not good the older they don't build on the backs of the more it's by those words all forgotten the face we're all taught by our mothers has been a piece of the payoff. for all the hero he has the most honorable son to the small of his. bronx like so much better just the corporations. who really cause. the cause of this was because he was.
11:51 pm
that people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs is not democratic it's not going to fishel to the vast majority of people and till we have some kind of economic democracy where in the past majority of people in their communities and in their workplaces have more decisions over what these corporations do if we want to have corporations and all then political democracy is a sham in the you look at the military budget city of new jersey for you to spend as much as the world somebody at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level graded where the american society of civil engineers we get a decent these days grip is the future of our economy very infrastructure is going
11:52 pm
to work as of the face of those two issues which are you just don't fear the one percent. in the military industrial complex suddenly we are solutions to all the issues that mean there is money to invest in the new resisting the economy still selling his money to reform at whom so they're not wasting energy you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like. our money ran on it and it was frightening. frightening. that he said it was to smother a target like the rest. easier by the red streak there we are right now. here.
11:53 pm
because. they say that the occupy movements major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation that people are now debating issues such as western equality at this point i think we can all agree there is no debate there is inequity when it comes to wealth period full stop and it is growing and the super rich are not super rich because of some force of nature like summer morphing into fall or heat always going to coal they are super rich as a result of their active participation in or their willingness to be accessories to you criminally rig the homicidal force of a system what the occupy movement has done and why people armed with nothing more than an idea are being suppressed often violently is to acknowledge that most all of the issues are connected antiwar activists or through health care reform advocates or housing or labor rights advocates will thank the reform advocates you
11:54 pm
name it are now all shining a light on the root cause of inequity. see our foreign policy does in fact limit our options when it comes to health care reform a shareholder capitalism one that demands growth every quarter is directly contributing to the assault on collective bargaining issues the american dream itself the way it is understood by many as a mistress rags to riches anyone could be a millionaire greed is good grab the most toys before you die each rose should be loosened i used for the greater good and the birth of a new american dream based on equity sustainability and the general welfare of the people should be brought into being and by people i mean people not corporations i was out here during the game for no education. it was a martin luther king day. two thousand people total strangers were out of each other on the streets were having conversations across class and race lines and all
11:55 pm
the sudden we felt oh. well some of us knew better than you can there's no messiah going to get elected by this system and deliver hope and change we can believe in so how will the occupy movement that has wisely stayed away from promoting political parties or individual politicians navigate the minefield of the potentially co-opting force that is the presidential election cycle now this year is just going to be nuts we've never seen this much money spent on a political process in the history of the world. and this comes at a time for a movement that is determinately to. this mad influx of money and politics so it's going to be a really scary contrast and the challenge of this movement is to create a counter narrative is to show that the justice of its cause is more interesting
11:56 pm
than anything these candidates can put on television i mentioned at the beginning that this movie is an invitation for you to join the arc. but there are no membership dues no papers to sign all that is required is the willingness to see the world as it is and decide that you are going to be part of the solution occupy is less of an organization and more of an organism a living breathing multi and force that refuses to find me she will be pushed into a corner this organism is still a baby and the narrative it will be telling in the years to come is yours to write what's your alternative it isn't easy to do when you pull money to the city you live in with him coming to your kitty feel. pleased to speak to somebody getting to sit in judgment. didn't you. just smile and. thankfully in the senate better
11:57 pm
myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people will really discussing the world have to be this way and how can we bring a better world into this historical lessons about life and freedom i still have a comment that is coming back i believe because. they can't seem to place for the next thing from the mountain.
11:58 pm
